David Ring David Ring (born October 28, 1953) is a Christian evangelist and motivational speaker who has cerebral palsy. Since 1973, Ring has challenged thousands of people with his signature message - "I have cerebral palsy... What's your problem?" He currently resides in Nashville, Tennessee, with his wife and four children. ==Early years== David Ring was born in Jonesboro, the seat of Craighead County in eastern Arkansas, the son of Baptist pastor Oscar Newton Ring. Ring's father died in 1964. Cancer took his mother four years later. Ring was hence an orphan at the age of fourteen. Depressed from the combination of losing his parents and the difficulties of his disability, Ring dropped out of high school. Ring specifically struggled with losing his mother, the only woman he believed would love him. According to Ring, he attempted to commit suicide many times over the course of the following two years due to his depression. 〔Sermon delivered 5-5-2013 in Gainesville, FL at North Central Baptist Church. www.gatorchurch.org〕 With the encouragement of his sister, however, he gave his life to Jesus in 1970 and returned to Liberty High School in Liberty, Missouri, where he graduated in 1971. Ring earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from William Jewell College in Liberty in 1976, where he was a member of Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity. 〔(David Ring to Speak at Arbor Baptist Church )〕 His new signature message is "I have cerebral palsy, but cerebral palsy don't have me." His now infamous catch phrase is: (concerning Christians who make excuses when it comes to being faithful) " I have cerebal palsy and I serve the Lord with all that is within me, what's your excuse?"
